Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My school is the only school in S.F. Public Schools, dedicated to educational programming exclusively for 3 and 4 year old children. The school gives priority placement to students who are identified as needing special education services.

My students' curiosity and drive to explore the world around them inspires me everyday.

I have 24 students, in two sessions; morning and afternoon, who are energetic and excited to learn through play. Around three fourths of my students have individualized education plans and benefit from related services such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, social work, or speech therapy in our school.

My Project

Blocks has always been one of the most popular centers but we are requiring additional materials as our class gets bigger and our students become more creative! Our block center also serves as a good place for students to practice their motor skills, make friends, learn to problem solve, and explore architecture and engineering concepts.

Our kids frequently start school and don't know how to cooperatively play with others.

Our block center is a main avenue for teaching this skill. As we challenge our students to create specific, large scale buildings, we find that we are lacking a lot of materials they could use to complete these projects.
